Trust the First Cremation Society Founded in Virginia

Cremation Society of Virginia was established to provide professional, compassionate services to the many Virginians who prefer simple, dignified cremation services. We are licensed by the Virginia Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers, and, unlike most funeral homes, we own and operate our own crematory.

Our preplanning (or “pre-need”) services are offered to individuals who would like to take control of their future by arranging their final wishes in advance. Preplanning allows your family time to grieve your loss and celebrate your life rather than face confusing choices and additional costs. Contact us today to begin preplanning online.

Is Cremation Right For Me?

As funeral costs continue to escalate, more people are turning to us as a dignified alternative to elaborate – and expensive – funeral services. Today, nearly 32% of Virginians choose cremation over burial. The Cremation Society of Virginia was established to serve these individuals. Unlike most funeral directors, our licensed staff members specialize in cremation. Members of the Cremation Society of Virginia are offered cremation, urns, caskets, and memorial and funeral services at costs significantly less than those at funeral homes. We do not sell high-priced caskets or operate lavish facilities, so our members are not pressured to buy services or merchandise they do not need.

Cremation is increasingly common throughout the United States and has become the preferred method of disposition in industrialized nations world-wide. Reasons for choosing cremation vary from religious, ecological, or cost concerns to personal preference. Whatever your reason for choosing cremation, the Cremation Society of Virginia is here to assist you in your time of need. Contact us today to receive a free cremation answer book and price quote.

Cremation Society of Virginia Testimonials

Families across the country choose us rather than any other service provider because we offer the best combination of value, service, and expertise for over 40 years.

Veronica was very professional in handling my niece for my brother. We were from out of town and only had 1 day to take care of the paperwork. She took care of everything for us over the phone that she possibly could. All we had to do was come in, pick out the urn sign the papers and give them a check. They made sure we were comfortable while we were there. I would highly recommend Cremation Society of Virginia. Thanks again Veronica for your professionalism.

A dear friend's ceremony was held here. The staff was wonderful, the interior was beautiful and respectful. It was a wonderful way to say goodbye to a dear friend. The area was carpeted, clean and warm. The interior was beautiful. I feel at peace that my 30-year-old friend was sent off beautifully.
